Thanks to funding from the government's ECIF programme the UCL Jill Dando Institute is able to offer up to 16 complimentary places on each of these masterclasses which would normally cost up to £395 per person. Each class starts at 10.45am and finishes at 3.30pm. This is to help minimise travelling and accommodation expenses. Lunch will be provided.

Each class will involve taking you through the technical processes of each technique, and assumes some technical proficiency in using a GIS.

Booking rules

To ensure fairness we have set the following booking rules:

* In the first instance we are limiting each person to one class i.e. you can only book on one class, not all four
* We are also limiting one agency to one class i.e. three people from the same police force cannot book on the same class, but one can book on class 1, one on class 2 and one on class 3
* If you wish to be considered for more than one class then please state your preference on the course booking form. You will be added to a reserve list.
